Quote from Governor Gretchen Whitmer's 2026 State of the State address: "Our laws have made it easy to expand suburbs but hard to build walkable downtowns and main streets or do more with your own property. It shouldn't be so hard to build the homes people need in the places where they want to live."

Gretchen Whitmer is on point: We need more homes and allowing more choices and more building will help get us there.

The Year Ahead (2026) A look ahead at what's coming in 2026 for the e18e community

here's a brief look ahead at what we have planned in the e18e community for 2026 🎉

great collaborations, and many useful developer tools are in the works.

also a huge thanks to all who contributed so far - many of the libraries, tools, and frameworks we use today are faster because of you 💙

I just merged the code change for this. We'll now have new Device Memory API limits from Chrome 146 and other Chromium-based browsers:

- Android: 2, 4, 8
- Others: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32

Replacing the old values of 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 which have grown outdated.

Next up, updating MDN documentation...

Big news! Google have sponsored the @e18e.dev community $10k via their Chrome performance fund 🎉

I'm very thankful we've managed to create a space and a community people appreciate. Sponsorships like this will benefit the ecosystem, not just this community

I am running for #A2Council in the Fourth Ward! Please support our people-powered campaign and help us lead Ann Arbor forward. secure.actblue.com/donate/sova2...

The bronze medal at the spartan race

Did my second Spartan Race last weekend, my first in the age group category. Won the bronze! Had a ton of fun; love training for these with my kids.

DevTools 🤝 MCP YouTube video by That Perf Guy

DevTools 🤝 MCP - Or as @tej.as named it when I was pitching this over at @jsnation.gitnation.org in our chats....'Self healing mode'.

Quick tease of something I've been hacking over the weekend as I prepare for I/O connect and just before.

Once again, Congresswoman Tlaib is a real one.

And um. @debbiedingell.house.gov ? Could you just not (support manufactured war on Iran ffs)? And say that publicly? Seems like not too much to ask. Thanks in advance, I hope, but get on this.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

Logical Redstone Reloaded - YouTube

Have you seen Logical Redstone! I found out about it when my 10-year-old ran up to me yelling "Mommy! Mommy! I made a half adder!!!"

Love how well it explains these concepts: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

ICE Taps into Nationwide AI-Enabled Camera Network, Data Shows Flock's automatic license plate reader (ALPR) cameras are in more than 5,000 communities around the U.S. Local police are doing lookups in the nationwide system for ICE.

Washtenaw folks: Milan has a few Flock license plate reading cameras installed, and Ypsilanti Township had considered installing hundreds of them with the support of the previous Sheriff. www.404media.co/ice-taps-int...

Photo of "Let's Make Dumplings" book alongside homemade dumplings.

Picked this book up on a whim at Vault of Midnight, and had so much fun with my 11-year-old making our first batch of dumplings together. I wish more kids cookbooks were written like graphic novels!

Screenshot of https://blog.lmarena.ai/blog/2025/webdev-arena/ showing the system prompt, which includes: > You are an expert frontend React engineer > - Create a React component for whatever the user asked you to create > - Use Tailwind classes for styling.

Is the WebDev Arena truly measuring webdev coding ability?

This ML coding benchmark *requires* React/Tailwind and completely breaks with vanilla JS/other frameworks.
The second-order implications of models competing on this narrow definition of frontend web development are rather troublesome.
